Discussion
Which of the following options correctly states the composition of a Disciplinary Committee of a Bar Council as prescribed under Section 9(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961 ?
Answer: C
The committee has three members: two elected from the Council's membership and one co-opted advocate with the prescribed qualifications who is not a member of the Council.
Section 9(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961 requires a Bar Council to constitute one or more disciplinary committees, each of three persons, of whom two are elected by the Council from amongst its members and the third is co-opted by the Council from advocates who possess the qualifications in the proviso to Section 3(2) and are not members of the Council. Under Section 9(2), the senior-most advocate among them is the Chairman.
The five-member options misstate the size, and 'the most junior member serving as Chairman' reverses the rule.
